What powers these ranks.

A reproducible current-roster starting point for season-long and weekly fantasy rankings.

See the full model map →See weekly accuracy →

Model, validation, and limitations

Training

Position-specific ridge models trained on prior-season opportunity and production from 2018-2025, evaluated with rolling-origin 2021-2025 holdouts.

Current inputs

Active 2026 rosters, the latest 2026 depth chart snapshot, the 2026 schedule, 2026 draft capital, player age, completed 2025 statistics.

Ranking policy

Overall ranks use expected value over a position-specific replacement player. Position views sort expected PPR points.

Holdout result

3,009 player-seasons. The model lowered MAE by 0.8% overall and beat the prior-season baseline in 3/5 test seasons.

How tiers work

Players with similar projected value belong together. We find the grouping that minimizes differences within each tier, with a penalty for creating extra tiers. The number of tiers and their boundaries update with every projection refresh.

Overall tiers use points above a replacement player. Position and FLEX tiers use projected PPR. Equal projections stay together. Searching does not change a player's rank or tier.

The calculation uses a 0.5-point grouping-resolution setting per NFL week, scaled to 1 week on this board. This setting controls how finely we group scores. It is not a measured forecast error. A tier break does not establish a statistically significant difference, and the projection ranges still show uncertainty.
